heyyy Fitz, sorry to hear about your situation!
I started cutting when I was 14/15 too and it went on for years before anyone found out.
I know how hard it is to stop....the first few months for me were awful...but I've managed to make it 3 years now! there are loads of things you can do....I made a distractions box (full of craft stuff and games etc) for when I felt low...made a journal of feelings as a release and of course posted on ryl which helped a lot!!
Even when it gets hard try keep strong!!!
Set yourself goals and reward yourself! (so for example....my first month free I bought myself a new t-shirt and then after 2, 4, 8 etc months I'd do something nice for myself! and it really helped)
And always keep in mind the end goal!! Being happy in your skin and with the people around you...not having to watch what you wear because you have to cover cuts/scars! I loved the first time I could wear shorts!!
Keep strong!
We believe in you and if you ever need to chat....my inbox is always open!!!
Take care
Alex
